My Destiny Illustrated Book of the Moon

Chapter 433 Past, Present, Future
  The moon was sparse, and there were black birds flapping their wings and chirping, blending into the deep night like ink.

Everything is dark, the thick earth is dark, the dead branches of the woods are dark, and the outline of the city in the distance is also dark.

But when the footsteps sounded, it became clearer, and an imaginary light shone on the horizon. The silver swordsmen, the bright cavalry, and even the assassins hiding under the black robes were surrounded by cyan Feng Lan cheering.

"Ah, it's so slow. When can we go back if this keeps up~~"

As the owner complained, his pink ponytail swayed dissatisfiedly, and slapped a fat man on the face.

Master Gold, it was precisely because of him that the servant could not return in spirit form and could only take him all the way back on foot.

"Rider." Siegfried reminded in a low voice, carrying his Master on his back and avoiding Ah Fu's 'attack'.

"Ah, sorry, I didn't mean to."

"At the current speed, it won't take long to reach Milenia Fortress." Arturia manipulated the strengthened Wind King barrier to push everyone forward, "However, Mr. Gold hasn't woken up yet. ?"

"Um..." Siegfried's expression froze, "Sorry."

At that time, he knocked out the master with a death wish, and the force was mixed with some "personal grudges". After receiving such a hard blow, it would not be surprising if Gold was unconscious until the next day.

"It doesn't matter, at least as far as the result is concerned, everyone is happy, right?"

Astolfo enjoyed the time of returning side by side with his companions. The reason why he complained was because of the "evaporation of rationality", so he didn't take it to heart at all. He turned to look behind him and suddenly sighed.

"...Well, in this case, it should be fine for the Master to be alone next time."

Needless to say, everyone knew who Ah Fu was worried about. Arturia comforted him: "It doesn't matter, no matter what, Shuo... Assassin from the red side will also help him."

"That's right." Ah Fu slapped his head, and his worry turned into joy, "Speaking of which, I have always misunderstood Assassin on the red side. Well, how should I put it, I always thought he was a guy who likes to fight and is powerful."

"Although I don't know his real name, he is indeed a hero." Even Siegfried, who was forced to sign the 'Deed of Prosecution', nodded and expressed his appreciation for Shuo Yue's rescue of Sieg.

Add to that resourcefulness, no, cunning. After all, you two fools were taken advantage of by Shuo Yueqing, and you even happily helped him count the money... Artoria shook her head helplessly, unable to bear to look at these two companions who were kept in the dark. But the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curve.

Shuo Yue was praised, and as his king, Arturia was honored.

When Cao Cao arrived, the line of cause and effect between master and slave was stirred, and Shuo Yue's calm voice sounded in Artoria's heart:

"Everything is going well here. I am taking Sieg, the artificial man, towards the village. What about you?"

"We're still on the way back, and we haven't encountered any obstacles." Secretly talking to the Master between Ah Fu and Fei Ge, which made Artoria feel a little fresh and exciting. A slight smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, and she teased, "But you know what? Rider and Saber are both boasting."

When she said this, she couldn't help but imagine Shuo Yue's reaction. Was he surprised, or was he showing a fox-like sly smile?

But the Master on the other side just remained silent for a moment and said flatly:
  "Very good, this trust will bring convenience to my future actions."

"……that's it?"

"That's it, otherwise?" Shuo Yue asked, "This is a scam. Do you expect me to be happy for this false appreciation?"

Having said that, it is too cold... Arturia curled her lips, but stopped gossiping: "In this way, Black's attention will be transferred to you, and then you will become the Rider Queen." Where is the Lord’s man-made man? What are you going to do with the child?”

"Now that she has been involved in the vortex of the Holy Grail War, there is no way she can escape. I will guide her on the road and let her return to the battlefield of her own will."

"Wait...returning to the battlefield?" Arturia couldn't believe it, "But isn't what we want her to be free?"

"When did I say this? What's more, if it is her own will to return to the Holy Grail War, then this is not a freedom of choice."

"How could she do this!" "Why is it impossible?" Shuo Yue asked back, "My thoughts and gratitude to the followers who saved him; my guilt and guilt that my fellow tribesmen are still suffering, but I escaped from death." Responsibility - these precious qualities, aren't they the first color that you, the great heroes, left on her? "

Because of longing and gratitude, the androids unconsciously look forward to seeing Astolfo again.

Because of guilt and sense of responsibility, the artificial man will take the initiative to return to the black side and raise the flag of resistance for the suffering compatriots.

And all of this is the reason why Shuo Yue saved her, and it is also the future that Shuo Yue is looking forward to.

"..." Artoria was silent and speechless. As if he didn't feel the servant's emotions, Shuo Yue continued, "Right now, Saber Siegfried, Caster Avisbron, plus Caster Shakespeare on the red side, me, little Jack and you, Blue Fang already has six followers, but it is obviously not enough to fight against the red and black sides."

Not only was it a matter of quantity, Shakespeare and Little Jack were also unable to compete with top or even first-class servants in terms of quality.

"Black Lancer Vlad III could not escape death when the red team invaded. Archer Chiron and Berserker Frankenstein did not have too obvious weaknesses, and they were more inclined to exclude than to instigate rebellion. In other words, the black team There are no more servants to win over.”

Shuo Yue's analysis was so smooth that even the sulky Dumao couldn't help but listen carefully.

"I'm planning a big one on the red side. If possible, everyone except Amakusa and the Empress will defect to the black side. However, there is still one group excepted. After all, they are outside the red side's front. Even Amakusa will restrain them. Not to them."

Without letting Da Mao think about what he would do on the red side, Shuo Yue directly named the group: "Red Saber Mordred, at this stage, she is the most likely person to join our blue camp,"

Red Saber? Indeed, in terms of strength and closeness to the camp, she is indeed the most suitable member for our side... Wait, there seems to be something wrong...

When Dai Mao finally realized it, she opened her beautiful eyes wide, and the emotions of panic and escape flashed away from her blue eyes:
  "Wait, Qing Shuoyue? What are you talking about? That's Mordred, that annoying knight!"

A certain King Arthur, whose heart had been resolved but whose grudge was still lingering, protested loudly: "Even if I don't care, she will draw her sword and chop at me the moment she sees me!"

"Aren't you father and son (mother and daughter)? If you have a conflict or something, why don't you just have a fight?"

"Fight?" Dai Mao's tone was faint, "Shuo Yueqing, do you want us to wipe Romania off the world map? What's more, doing so will definitely expose your real name?"

"...Didn't the main body of Chaldea's servant receive the memory?" Shuo Yue was confused, but soon relieved, "That's right, with Ritsuka's level, it would be difficult for Artoria to die, let alone Caleb. The food at the bottom is definitely better than Avalon.”

After the death of the servant, the memory will return to the Heroic Soul Seat. In other words, the heart-to-heart talk between Shuoyue and Daimao on the island was unknown to Artoria who came into her own body.

But Assassin's Shuo Yue is not considerate enough to consider Dai Mao's mood.

"Detailed plans will be discussed with Lingxia tonight. Next is the last thing, which is the issue of your real name."

Although Dai Mao has been wearing the degraded version of the 'Hades' cloak' projected by Shuo Yue, he has always concealed his identity, and it is difficult to win people's trust after all.

What's more, the intensity of the upcoming war will not allow Artoria to use the 'Wind King's Barrier' to deal with it.

"As the master, I order you, Artoria, to allow you to release the Noble Phantasm in the next battle." Shuo Yue said, "As for the magic power consumption caused, Black Fang's artificial battery system can be used. I have to admit, That fat guy Gold did a pretty good job at that.”

Sakutue saved the androids, but indifferently regarded her fellow humans as firewood and simple magic blocks to fill the Noble Phantasm.

This is not a contradiction, because in Shuo Yue's eyes, the act of rescuing the artificial man is not motivated by morality, but simply to find a useful chess piece.

Artoria sighed inwardly, completely understanding the Assassin's style of dealing with things.

...Try not to use the Noble Phantasm as much as possible. Even if you use it, just use your own magic power to pay for it.

With this thought in mind, Artoria responded in a low voice.

"Understood, my Master."
